Today it's Aqua di parma - one of my favourites!

Really? I feel like they're really different. I hate intense but I really like Dior Homme.

No, not yet. My first ELdO was Secretions Magnifiques, which I absolutely loved, so I was very excited to try the other ones. So far, I've been a little bit disappointed though. On the positive side, Jasmin et Cigarette is very good, and a lot less gimmicky than the others. Encens et Bubblegum is very gimmicky, but also pretty good. I've got a sample of Rossy de Palma Eau de Protection that should be arriving soon and that I'm really looking forward to.

Bel Ami today. Am I the only person in the world who thinks this smells like root beer barrels? (The candy, not actual root beer barrels. I don't know what those smell like.)

I can't say for certain, but it's highly likely that, yes, you are the only person in the world who smells that.

today: Bay Rum with a Twist, for a Sunday of labor.

I tried JetC and was a bit disappointed but it was very hot weather so it might hold up better in the winter. Keep us updated on the trials. This seems to be a line that's very polarizing.

Tried out the new D&G The One Gentleman today. I think this one is going to be popular with the hoi paloi. Its got a sweet kick but still retains a bit of a masculine quality. Sort of a manlier Prada Amber. Probably going to pass on it or maybe hijack a few samples from Sephora once it gets released there.

Today...back in Chanel Antaeus for the colder weather.

kulata · Sep 27, 2010

Cold weather so Rive Gauche is back on rotation!

It's starting to feel like fall here in STL, so I went with Tom Ford Amber Absolute. Am I the only person in the world who thinks this smells really ambery? (I'm playing it safe this time.)

Noap. I think it's a beautiful spicy buttery amber that lasts until tomorrow, easily.

The sad part about fall is that I have so many fall scents to wear, and so few days to wear them.

Today I tested Rochas Man on the left hand and New Harlaam on the right... I don't kno where people get "coffee" from Rochas. To me it smells sort of sweet and creamy, I definitely get something like Body Kouros, maybe it's an anise note? and then at the end a sort of soapy musk. I'll try it again. The New Harlaam is Much nicer, and a lot more like coffee. Any thoughts? The only other one I can think of to try is Angel Pure Coffee but it's unlikely I'll find a sample anywhere... what do y'all think? I'm not much of gourmand fan but could use a few coffee/chocolate scents (yes, I've got Dior Homme and L'Instant covered already) For those interested in Philosykos, here's a 50ml for $45. http://www.basenotes.net/threads/242...rlain-Lempicka

New Harlem wasn't bad but I thought it was a bit cloying. I can't think of another coffee off of the top of my head but if you want chocolate on the cheap then try out Hanae Mori EdP.

Rambo · Sep 28, 2010

Almost forgot. Tried out the new Marc Jacobs Bang again today. The more I try this the more I dislike it. Its supposed to be a "spicy/woody fragrance" but it just comes off as a cheap imitation sandalwoody scent.

yodawg · Sep 28, 2010

montana parfum d'homme red box - it's spicy and leathery. supposed to be similar to havana without the tobacco. i like it. was really cheap too.

Thomas · Sep 28, 2010

Today, Le Labo Oud 27.

L'Incandescent · Sep 28, 2010

Noir de Noir today. It's been a while since I last wore this, and I'd forgotten how much I like it. My spontaneous reaction when I sprayed it on this morning was "Holy sh*t, that's great!" (I sometimes think that as I apply Jicky too, but in that case I mean it a little bit more literally.)
